Create your own movie at Network.com

Yes, that's right! The popular frame rendering software, Blender, is
currently available from Network.com
Application Catalog. Blender
offers full functionality for modeling, rendering, animation,
post-production, creation and playback of interactive 3D content with
the singular benefits of cross-platform operability and a download file
size of less than 2.5MB.

However, if you are not using Blender
in a parallel computing environment, it takes literally hours to create
the frames that will make up your movie. The version of Blender
available from
the Network.com Application Catalog can run
simultaneously on multiple CPUs in the Sun Grid Compute Utility
environment, so you get your frames rendered in orders of magnitude
faster. And at $1/CPU-hr, it is very affordable not only for
professional artists, but also to occasional hobbyists. Check it out to
create
3D visualizations, stills as well as broadcast quality video at
Network.com.
